Aaaand she took the deal! Most begrudgingly. Hehe... yeah, I like the part where Cat holds up the pen too. This has been a substantial and really entertaining arc; I look forward to seeing its concluding page.

Dad is really going to be proud when he finds out; Mom will be too, once she's over the shock. :-)Ronnie obviously has a pleasantly surprised new appreciation for Cat; both she and Dawn will be all over Cat once Pudelhund's out of earshot.

I heartily agree with the previous posters about Ronnie's expression and Cat holding out the pen for Pudelhund. And it would be -very- interesting to hear what Pudelhund reports back to Cat's parents! Cat might be called on the carpet for it at first, but once Mom & Dad see the evidence, well... It'll be back to my first paragraph!

Just from the looks on both Ronnie's and Dawn's faces, you can tell that they're impressed with Cat, and from the looks of it Ms. Pudelhund is less than thrilled with the way everything has transpired.^_^I'm proud of our resident feline in that she's not only managed to get their entire apartment out of a difficult jam, but also showed the manager that she's not going to let anymore of those veiled insults slide.

That one speech bubble in the second panel is supposed to be coming from Ronnie, right?

Anyways I just /love/ how Cat's expression changes in the middle. Like Dawn and Ronnie, I'm very impressed with how Cat stood her ground, but on the other hand, I totally don't blame Cat for not wanting to have to do that again. She kept on a pretty brave face during the confrontation, but I imagine it was still stressful for her.

Also, Ronnie and Dawn joining Cat in the giant stuffed animal pile is adorable (even though they look a tad exasperated). That's true friendship right there, that is--not just that they agreed to join her, but that Cat wanted them to come into her little safety zone like that in the first place. ...I wish I could join her, too. I've already finished one paper and a final exam, but I still have another paper to write, a presentation to give today, a coding project to finish, and three final exams next week. Whee, finals season. Oh well. It's probably still not as scary as standing up to Ms. Pudelhund. =P
